"Bella, may I talk to you."

Bella turned wide-eyed to Mr. Weasley. She nodded and walked towards the man. She didn't know him all too well but she knew he was trustworthy and he was always kind to her.

"Yes, sir?"

"I have something to tell you—" he started. Bella held up her hand and Mr. Weasley flinched as he saw that it was the palm marked with 'Grindelwald's' symbol. Bella tried not to smile at his reaction and shook her head.

"Mr. Weasley, did you really think Uncle Sirius would keep me uninformed? I already know" Bella commented. Mr. Weasley sighed and nodded, helplessly and he looked at his pocket watch.

"I know but I'm just making sure. You must be terrified with those people after you" Mr. Weasley sighed. He watched in surprise as Bella began to laugh. And he almost shuddered. It was a very heartless laugh, covered with a cherubic sound.

"I'm not. I'm not afraid. Did you know that Grindelwald slapped me in my first year? And I flew back so hard that I slammed my head into the metal edge of a mirror. Did you know that I fought him and a sphinx last year? Bellatrix has a mental disorder and it is the same as Hermione's. I know how to deal with it. Wormtail is a rat. He'll be easy. Rabastan and Rodolphus…I might know two people who could take care of them. I definitely not afraid" Bella said. Mr. Weasley's eyes widened.

It sounded as if she were planning to kill them.

"Now, Bella, don't go looking for trouble" Mr. Weasley warned. Bella tilted her head and put her hand on her hips.

"I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble finds me and from now on, I'm going to be ready."

"So, how was your summer?" Ron asked. He had just shared his little adventure in Egypt with a smile on his face. Bella and Hermione had elected not to tell of their adventure delving into the Blood Arts. That wouldn't go over well with the strictly Light wizard. Personally, the two were leaning towards Neutral. It was much easier to accomplish Neutral spells but still, took effort.

"To…Riddle and I are not speaking, so my wand is being a bitch" Bella finally said. It was the truth. Her wand continued to jerk every time she even tried to do a spell. It did the spell, of course, but rather reluctantly.

"Wait…what? Why?" Ron asked in confusion. Hermione took the time to fill him in. Ron nodded in understanding. Hermione finally smirked.

"And, Bella's been in a foul mood since then. She fancies Riddle" Hermione teased. Ron choked over his own spittle. Bella glared at Hermione.

"I'd sooner have a crush on Thanatos, Hermione. Anyway, Ron, Hermione's mum, Maya, fancies my Uncle Sirius!" Bella announced. Hermione's expression became totally neutral at the words and she looked out the window. She didn't know how to truly respond. Ron's ears turned red.
